Hi...............

Blood in stool is not normal.
You have problem of constipation with blood in stool.

Intestinal infection like ulcerative colitis may cause blood in stool and other abdomine problems.

Intestinal polyps may cause blood in stool problems.
Diverticulitis may ruled out.
Intestinal obstruction may ruled out.

Colononoscopy is helpful for further diagnosis.

Anal fissure or hemorroids may cause blood in stool.
After taking enema still no bowel mocement than you can do abdominal ultrasonography for diagnosis.

Wish you a good health.
Take care.
THANKS.
